Three-card poker
Three-card poker - simple and exiting game, which fundamentals are similar to the rules of "Gold oasis" poker.
The player can bet:
· ANTE position
· PAIRPLUS position
· ANTE and PAIRPLUS simultaneously, and with different bet. The bet of the player must fit into the required min and max of each particular table.
Three cards are dealt face sheet downwards to the player. After viewing the given cards a player may either raise by putting an equal ANTE bet on RAISE position or fold and lose the ANTE bet. If the player folds he also loses the PAIRPLUS bet if one was made. The dealer needs at least a queen high to qualify.
The possible outcomes and their payouts:
· Dealer does not qualify:
ANTE wins 1:1
· Dealer qualifies and player beats dealer:
RAISE wins 1:1
ANTE wins:
1:1 - for combinations less than STRAIGHT
2:1 - for STRAIGHT (three cards of different suits one by one)
4:1 - for THREE OF A KIND (three cards of the same value)
5:1 - STRAIGHT FLUSH (three cards of one suit one by one)
- Dealer qualifies and has the same hand with player:
Winner is to be determined by the following higher card. If all cards are identical, there is a situation called "STAND OFF" - nobody loses and nobody wins.
The player who has bet on PAIRPLUS, does not play against dealer's hand, therefore PAIRPLUS is always to be paid. If the player has:
· PAIR (two identical cards) - 1:1
· FLUSH (three cards of one suit) - 4:1
· STRAIGHT (three cards of different suits one by one) - 5:1
· THREE OF A KIND (three cards of the same value) - 20:1
· STRAIGHT FLUSH (three cards of one suit one by one) - 40:1
PAIRPLUS bet loses if the player's hand is lesser, than a PAIR.
